Apple introduced the iPhone 16e in India and across the globe on Wednesday as an affordable option in the iPhone 16 series, essentially doing away with the iPhone SE lineup. The phone has an A18 chipset, a single rear camera, and a design similar to the iPhone 14, with a notch. A major point of interest is how its pricing in India compares to other regions like the UAE, the US, and Japan.

In India, the iPhone 16e price starts at ₹59,900 for the 128GB base model, ₹69,900 for the 256GB model, and ₹89,900 for the 512GB model.

Japan offers the iPhone 16e at 99,800 yen (about ₹57,600), while in Vietnam, it costs around VND 16,999,000 (₹57,800). Based on these comparisons, the iPhone 16e is the least expensive in the US, followed by Japan and Vietnam, with India in the middle.
